DANCE PREVIEW | BY CASEY CARLSEN | PAGE 22 | PHOTO BY Tim Leverett

Blood on the dance floor There is a new vampire in town, and she’s wearing pointe shoes. Stately, seductive, and self-assured, she is the blood countess, the title character in the original, full-length ballet by Jamey Leverett, artistic director of Rochester City Ballet.

Leverett loosely based the premise of her story on the life of late 16th century Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory, infamous for her alleged penchant for bathing in the blood of virgins (as in, hundreds of virgins) as a

means to retain her celebrated beauty. Leverett’s twist on history was to insert Dracula into Bathory’s world — that is, Dracula before he was a vampire.

Rochester City Ballet debuts the “The Blood Countess” this weekend at Nazareth College Arts Center. Inside find rehearsal photos and City’s take on the production — a chilling, erotic, and above all else dramatic new addition to the burgeoning local dance scene.

urban journal | by mary anna towler

‘Justice being done’ The news over the past week had repeated reminders of the LGBT community’s struggle for equal rights.

There were the reports on the continuing effort to get the New York State Senate to approve a marriage-equality bill.

There were CNN anchor Don Lemon’s comments in a New York Times interview about his book “Transparent,” in which he talks about his homosexuality. “I’m scared,” he told the Times’ Bill Carter. “I’m talking about something that people might shun me for, ostracize me for.”

There was the Times’ long piece on Phoenix Suns president Rick Welts, who until recently was afraid to be public about his homosexuality — even when he couldn’t openly mourn the death of his first partner, and when his insistence on secrecy destroyed the relationship with another partner.

In a piece of good news, after 33 years, the Presbyterian Church (USA) agreed last week to allow gays and lesbians to be ordained as ministers and lay leaders.

This is no small matter. In the Presbyterian Church (which is my church), decisions aren’t made by a handful of elites; they’re made by representatives of laypeople and clergy throughout the country, working through our own forms of regional and national governments. We have wrestled over this issue, and voted on it, repeatedly.

The General Assembly (our Congress, in effect) approved gay ordination two years ago, but required that a majority of the denomination’s 173 presbyteries (sort of multi-county legislatures) ratify it.

Last week, the Twin Cities presbytery cast the vote that provided the majority.

There is still plenty of opposition from conservative Presbyterians, who cite Biblical passages condemning homosexuality as a sin. The morning after the Twin Cities vote, the PCUSA website contained comments like these: “This is just the first step of disobedience against the scripture: a never changing word of God.” “I am absolutely sickened that you are turning from the Lord.”

“Doesn’t it bother you that you are making something ok that is considered offensive to God and aligning yourself with evil?”

“My family and I will be leaving the denomination.”

“May God have mercy upon your souls.”

Like other mainline Protestant denominations, the Presbyterian Church has been losing members. There seems

It has been particularly troubling for churches not only to condone but to actively participate in oppression.” little doubt that the denomination will lose members over last week’s vote — and it may lose entire churches.

“I’m never happy when congregations leave,” my pastor, Third Church’s John Wilkinson, said last week. “It indicates a form of brokenness.” More optimistically, “If we’re going to grow,” he said, “we’re going to grow from young people who want us to be open.”

And “personally,” he said, the vote was “very good and welcome news. It was justice being done.”

Justice being done, indeed. I understand that for many people, opposition to gay ordination, as with same-sex marriage, is based on deeply held religious beliefs. That many of us find those beliefs both misguided and inconsistent doesn’t change a thing. But in a good bit of the opposition to gay rights, there is an ugliness that is chilling — and often, as we know, dangerous.

It has been particularly troubling, then, for churches not only to condone but to actively participate in oppression.

It is encouraging that this religious institution has, at last, done the right thing.

There is, though, much more justice to be done. A next step for New Yorkers, of course, is approval of marriage equality. If you haven’t already, urge local Senators Jim Alesi, Joe Robach, Michael Nozzolio, and George Maziarz to take a stand for justice.

On a personal note: My husband and co-

publisher Bill and I are mourning the loss of two exceptional Rochesterians, Nathalie Goldberg and Stuart Bolger, both of whom died last week. Nathalie, a devoted, generous Rochester and Jewish community philanthropist, was an early supporter of this newspaper, and her son Paul has been a valued adviser and supporter as well as a close personal friend. Stuart was the visionary founding director of Genesee Country Village, an ardent preservationist, and a genuinely sweet soul.

Human rights and Monroe County

Regarding “Monroe County Joins Controversial Program,” May 11: It has been proven once again that human rights are the first losses to our society in the name of security. Abu Ghraib had proven the acceptability of detaining innocent people and torturing them both physically and psychologically. And the highest level of military command over this travesty was actually promoted; Donald Rumsfeld is profiting off his book; and George W. Bush is building his own effigy, entitled a Presidential Library. But we had already learned this with Gitmo.

Now is it any wonder that the United States has come up with a method to legitimize the detention of anyone without probable cause (Fourteenth Amendment) until we can determine if they have committed a crime? And is it any wonder that our former Governor Paterson signed an agreement to allow this in New York State, that Governor Cuomo has not spoken of this, and that Monroe County has just partnered with the federal government to actually do this?

Yes, Monroe County, as one of many other counties throughout the state, has recently signed on to the Secure Communities program of the Department of Homeland Security, described as “a modern approach to identifying and removing criminal aliens.” This initiative allows anyone to be held until the Department of Homeland Security has determined whether they are in this country legally, essentially legitimizing City

MAY 18-24, 2011

racial profiling based on the “shoes they wear” or the color of their skin.

S-Comm is advertised as a program to remove dangerous criminals; and yet, throughout the country where it has been in effect, up to 67 percent of the S-Comm deportees were not criminals.

These are people who have broken only the civil law of being in this country without proper documentation, not declared as targets of this plan, not a danger to our security, and leaving behind families dependent on them.

This program now in effect in Monroe County is supposed to make our communities secure. And yet our Border Patrol and ICE agents throughout the region have not found dangerous criminal aliens among us. Are we more secure when our Fourth Amendment guarantees against unreasonable searches and seizures are usurped in the name of security?

Ask our Monroe County officials how they could accept this program which does not make us safer, alienates an entire population of our neighbors, and fosters the loss of human rights under the guise of homeland security. Ask Governor Cuomo how he can ignore this removal of our Constitutional rights.

JOHN L. GHERTNER, MD, SODUS

Was it ‘justice’ to kill Bin Laden?

I have heard people say that Osama bin Laden has been “brought to justice” when actually, it seems to me he has been shot dead. I think of justice as more like a public international trial, where Bin Laden’s crimes are displayed before the world, and he is sentenced to a lifetime of having to receive as visitors the families of the people he has murdered. Those families would have the opportunity to tell him in graphic detail of the sorrow and loss, the pain and hardship his actions caused.

The cynical might say it wouldn’t change a thing.

Maybe so, but Robert McNamara was able to admit that the war he helped create, which killed 2 million Vietnamese and 58,000 Americans, was a mistake.

Though his apology cost him nothing, it may have offered some relief to some of those who lost friends and family in that protracted catastrophe. People do change, and a great opportunity was lost. We’ll never know.

One thing is clear: you cannot shoot evil. It doesn’t die. Centuries of warfare and capital punishment have proved that despite what we see in movies, violence doesn’t eradicate evil.

It feeds it.

I don’t expect that we’ll give up on war and vengeance anytime soon.

It’s far too profitable. I do think, however, that it’s important to be clear about our motives and understand that there are alternatives to violence.

Don’t close libraries to fix city budget

I am the one the City of Rochester claims to want to attract and retain. As a young professional homeowner in the 14610 area, I build my community and organize my neighbors for street activities. I have not grown up in the Rochester area; however I have chosen to become a city resident. I would like to continue to live with my family in the city. I work as a speech-language pathologist in the public schools in Irondequoit. I am a Compeer to a young lady who lives in Charlotte. I worship, dine, and attend cultural and arts activities in the city. I go to my library at least once a week.

I have chosen to live in this neighborhood because of the proximity to the Winton Branch Library and my ability to safely walk, bike, or drive there.

Over the last three years, I have built relationships

with my librarians. I trust Diane Premo to give me an excellent recommendation because we have spent time cultivating a shared love of reading, particularly through our Monday night adult book club. This cannot easily be exchanged for another librarian at some other branch.

Libraries grow up with the communities in which they are planted; this is a symbiotic relationship.

Libraries are a cornerstone for democracy. Libraries provide free and open access to information to all citizens regardless of income, age, gender, race, etc. Libraries support a literate society from infancy through adulthood and provide a space for the free exchange of ideas.

Closing libraries and consequently limiting access to those who are already limited in access to other rights of society (adequate health care, safe housing, etc.) will further diminish the quality of life for all Rochester residents.

We must not “solve” problems of today by creating greater ones for tomorrow.

JULIE TODORO, ROCHESTER

Vote for Hochul for Congress

Remember mustard gas in World War I? It was a horrible way to fight a war, destroying the eyes and lungs of the enemy. A shift in the wind direction, however, would send the evil cloud back to the side that launched it.

We are seeing the political equivalent of mustard gas out here in the 26th Congressional District. The Republicans’ assault on Medicare has floated back on a contrary breeze and exploded in their own faces.

It turns out that voters are happy with Medicare and don’t want it privatized to generate even more wealth for fat cats.

They have seen through the bait-and-switch sleight of hand. During the 2010 elections, to scare seniors into voting for them,

Republicans screamed that President Obama was going to destroy Medicare, only to immediately set out to destroy Medicare once they were in power. The co-called death panels and rationing that they falsely accused Democrats of supporting are woven right into their plan.

Even more sobering, Medicare is just the beginning of what they want to roll back. Medicaid and even Social Security are next if they have their way with Medicare. Sometimes I think they will be content only if they can return to the days of robber barons and child labor.

The final results will be apparent after the election, but it appears that Republican Jane Corwin is on the ropes for stating she would have voted for the Ryan budget bill in the House. What should be a safe district for a Republican is up for grabs because of Republican over-reaching. Corwin has used a lot of air time to claim that her Democratic opponent is a Pelosi clone, but the truth is that if there are any clones in the race it is Corwin, who is in lockstep with Boehner and Ryan and their plan to destroy Medicare as we know it.

We have a chance to send a message to the nation in the May 24 special election in the 26th Congressional District.

Democrat Kathy Hochul, the Erie County Clerk, is ahead in the latest polling. If we can keep the momentum going, we will demonstrate that tampering with Medicare is toxic.

Please, make every effort to vote on May 24.

Lej passes redistricting plan

The Monroe County Legislature adopted a redistricting plan that will have all 29 legislators running at the same time during the 2015 and 2019 elections. Previously the terms were staggered so that a group of legislators was up for election every two years.

The terms were spelled out in a section of the redistricting legislation.

The legislation also includes descriptions of all Legislature districts.

City sued

Eight Spanish-speaking workers filed a lawsuit against the City of Rochester, alleging that their supervisor required them to speak English at all times. A city spokesperson told local media that the city does not have an English-only policy and that employees can speak whatever language they want outside of an employee-to-supervisor discussion.

New commissioner and teacher evaluations

The New York State Board of Regents appointed John King Jr. to replace David Steiner as New York State’s education commissioner and president of the University of the State of New York. King has been serving as senior deputy commissioner for the past two years, and led the board’s reform agenda. The board also adopted changes to the teacher-principal evaluation system that became law last year. The system was to be phased in beginning this fall with grades 4 to 8 math and English teachers and building principals, but will now be rolledout for all teachers and principals. And instead of basing 20 percent of teacher evaluations on state tests, the board agreed to increase that portion of the evaluation to 40 percent.

Pawnshop perils So someone broke in, stole a bunch of your stuff, and now you’re trolling the pawnshops hoping to reclaim some of what you’ve lost. Well, you’d better have more than a sob story for Mike Picow. He wants serial numbers, insurance paperwork, color and clarity.

“Any fuck face can come in my store and say, ‘that’s mine,’” Picow says. “What’s their criteria: ‘it looks like mine’?

I don’t care. If I were a thief, there’d be no chance of getting your shit back.” (A less-scrupulous pawnbroker might, for example, melt a ring down for its gold, he says.)

Mike Picow, owner of AA-1 Pawn on North Clinton Avenue, asks why thieves would fence stolen property at a city pawnshop, when they could sell it practically hassle-free in the suburbs.

Photo by MATT DETURCK

Picow owns AA-1 Pawn on North Clinton Avenue. He says he gets about 50 calls a week from people trying to recover stolen possessions.

Pawnshops do have a reputation as being part of the stolen-goods market — a way for thieves to unload stolen items quickly and with few questions asked, says John Klofas, professor of criminal justice at Rochester Institute of Technology. Klofas is also director of RIT’s Center for Public Safety Initiatives, which put out a report this month analyzing transactions

at 41 City of Rochester pawnshops in 2010.

“The whole question that this is sort of built around is, what’s the stolen property market look like?”

Klofas says. “There’s got to be an outlet for stolen goods. So what are those outlets? And pawnshops are often seen as playing part of that role.”

Klofas says he thinks pawnbrokers are a small segment of a complex web of fences that includes flea markets and online sellers like eBay. continues on page 10

City schools tackle student health

The superintendent shuffle

The city school district is neither a hospital nor a health-care insurer, but it has become one of the most important conduits for child health care in the county. City schools provide direct care or access to a full range of medical, dental, and emotional health services for almost all of their population of approximately 32,000 students.

The services are high quality, says Gladys Pedraza-Burgos, but not as well-coordinated as they need to be. Pedraza-Burgos is the district’s chief of youth development and family services. She has formed, for the first time in the district’s history, a health services advisory group that will act something like a board of directors.

The group, which held its first meeting recently, includes representatives from the University of Rochester Medical Center, UR School of Nursing, Finger Lakes Health Systems, St. John Fisher College’s school of nursing, the Children’s Agenda, and the Monroe County Public Health Department.

The district has health clinics in five schools and partners with a wide variety of outside health service providers, including URMC and LensCrafters. Making sure a student’s health care is holistic and not piecemeal is difficult, Pedraza-Burgos says, when so many service providers are involved.

The advisory group’s function will be to oversee and coordinate all these programs and services, she says.

In some respects, schools are well-suited for delivering health care to Gladys Pedraza-Burgos.

Photo PROVIDED children. But it’s Rochester’s high concentration of poverty that has made it necessary for the school district to focus on health care comprehensively.

“Many of our students and their parents simply do not have access to health care,” Pedraza-Burgos says. “And we know that healthier students are better learners and their attendance is higher.”

Two factors are driving the need for better coordination of services, she says. First, demand has increased, while funding for the district’s health services has remained flat.

The district is also seeing more students with serious chronic conditions. For example, 30 percent of city school students are overweight, and 14 percent have asthma.

The Rochester school board approved a separation agreement for former Superintendent Jean-Claude Brizard Monday evening, before signing a contract with Interim Superintendent Bolgen Vargas.

But concerns have been raised about both decisions. | Getting Brizard to give up about $25,000 in unused sick and vacation time isn’t much of a victory, said board member Van White in a phone interview. Brizard stressed achievement, accountability, and equitability in his tenure with the district, White said, “Where is the accountability in this decision?” | White favored holding off on the agreement and negotiating further with Brizard. | White and board member Willa Powell voted against Brizard’s separation agreement. | White was the only board member to vote against Vargas’s contract, which will pay Vargas an annual salary of $175,000. White said Vargas has a potential conflict of interest. Vargas said he will take a leave of absence from the Greece school district, where he is a member of NYSUT. | “How is he supposed to negotiate at arm’s length with the teachers union?” White said. “When he leaves the city school district, he’ll probably go back to Greece, where he’ll have to work with those people.”

Brutal slugfest for Chris Lee’s old seat

Tea Party candidate Jack Davis.

Democratic candidate Kathy Hochul. PROVIDED PHOTO

New York’s 26th Congressional District has seen some tough races in recent years.

Until this year, the 2008 Democratic primary might have been the roughest.

Military veteran Jon Powers and businessman Jack Davis tore into each other, engaging in aggressive mudslinging campaigns. Candidate Alice Kryzan stayed above the fray and walked away with the victory.

But this year brings a brutal four-way contest for an open seat, following the resignation of Republican Chris Lee — who defeated Kryzan in the 2008 general election — in the face of a developing scandal. A special election has been set for May 24.

Davis is back, this time as a registered Republican running on his own Tea Party line — earning Davis the scorn of established Tea Party groups. State Assembly member Jane Corwin is running on the Republican line, Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul is the Democratic candidate, and Buffalo Beast Editor-in-Chief Ian Murphy is the Green Party candidate.

The race is tight, which accounts for its increasingly aggressive tone. Polls show that Corwin and Hochul are very close, and that Davis isn’t that far behind.

Republicans are so afraid of Davis pulling votes from Corwin that they’ve started aggressively attacking Davis.

The 26th District is complicated.

It encompasses suburbs in two metros, farmland, colleges, and manufacturing and City

industry. It is both blue collar and wellto-do, but everybody cares about jobs. It leans Republican, but Democrats have come close to winning the seat.

Some definitive issues have dominated the race: Medicare, jobs, and free trade agreements in particular.

A note on the trade agreements: The 26th has suffered massive manufacturing job losses. Many factory workers who’ve lost jobs believe NAFTA and other free-trade agreements are responsible. Agriculture is also a major industry in the district and farmers have been hurt by imported crops and low crop prices.

Davis is known across the region as a NAFTA critic, which has helped him build a base of support. He says he wants the US to pull out of existing NAFTA-style freetrade agreements, to implement tariffs, and to restore trade balance.

Hochul and Murphy say they oppose NAFTA-style trade agreements and won’t support any new ones. In her ads, Corwin says she opposes unfair trade agreements, but neither the ads nor her website offer further details. (Corwin did not return repeated calls and e-mails.)

Medicare, however, has been the dominant

issue in this race. Some background: Republican Representative Paul Ryan, chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, introduced a budget proposal full of drastic

program cuts. Long-term changes to the Medicare system were part of that proposal, which was approved by the House GOP. Under the plan, Medicare would be turned into a voucher program, where the government provides subsidies for seniors to buy their own private insurance. The program wouldn’t take effect for at least a decade.

Corwin supports the Ryan plan, including the Medicare provisions; Hochul does not. Hochul says that reducing health-care costs in general would reduce Medicare costs, and that’s a better approach to reforming the program. For example, she says, the government could develop policies that help get generic drugs to market faster.

Davis opposes the Ryan plan and Medicare cuts. During a recent appearance in Greece, he said the plan cuts from the wrong places. And Murphy says the Medicare problem would be best solved by implementing a single-payer “Medicare-for-all” health-care system; he also sees that as the ideal overall healthcare reform measure.

Corwin has said she would have voted to strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood, though she’s also said she supports a woman’s right to an abortion in the first trimester. The other three candidates support abortion rights.

Speaking of health care, Hochul says she likes many of the provisions of the health-care reform law, and supports tweaking the law, not repealing it. Corwin says she wants to repeal the whole thing,

but her website doesn’t specify what she wants in its place. Davis says he wants the law tossed out and replaced with interstate health-care compacts.

Because of the emphasis on Medicare and the Ryan plan, some politicians and pundits will be tempted to cast this race as an indicator of popular opinion. It’s not, and the New York Times’ Nate Silver makes a good case why in his FiveThirtyEight blog. The number of candidates, the district’s voting dynamics, and the fact that voters typically turn out in low numbers for special elections can make the election a poor predictor, he wrote. The way the vote splits will be more significant, he wrote.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and US

actions in Libya, have taken a lower profile in this race.

We could find no record of Corwin addressing Iraq, Afghanistan, or Libya in her public remarks or press releases.

Murphy says troops should be withdrawn from Iraq and Afghanistan as soon as possible. Davis says that any deeper involvement in Libya should be decided by Congress, and that the military shouldn’t be nation-building. If the troops in Iraq and Afghanistan aren’t needed to fight, he says, they should be brought home. Hochul backs the existing Iraq and Afghanistan withdrawal plans and approves of the decision to send troops to Libya. She says she doesn’t want Libya to turn into a longterm engagement, however, and the US shouldn’t act alone there.

Conventions coming Local Democrats will gather on Thursday, May 19, for their annual convention.

The party will nominate candidates for four City Council seats, many County Legislature seats, and county executive.

(Brighton Town Supervisor Sandra Frankel is the likely choice for the county exec nomination.)

The city school board races will probably see the most action. Eleven candidates are seeking nominations for four seats. The incumbents are Allen Williams, Willa Powell, Melisza Campos, and Malik Evans, and they’ve led in committee votes. Three candidates make up the Community Education Task Force

Slate for Educational Change: Howard Eagle, Mary Adams, and Wallace Smith.

Mia Hodgins, Ernest Flagler, and Michael Mason are also seeking nominations.

Democrats will gather at 7 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency, 125 East Main Street.

Local Republicans will hold their convention at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 26, at the Radisson Hotel Rochester Riverside, 120 East Main Street. County Executive Maggie Brooks will likely get a re-election nomination. There are also rumblings of Republicans putting up at least one City Council challenger.

Pawnshop continues from page 6

The RIT report pays particular attention to the 20 most active pawners (people selling to pawnshops) in 2010: what and how much they sold, when they sold, and their criminal histories, if any.

Pawnbrokers bought a total of 954 items in 643 transactions from the 20 most active pawners in 2010, the report says. The most common item pawned was jewelry, followed by electronics.

Nineteen of the 20 most active pawners had been arrested within Monroe County, and 12 of those 20 had theftrelated charges. However, the report does not say when or how those cases played out.

The report also says that frequent pawners have a high degree of drug use.

“And anecdotal evidence indicated that we should be seeing individuals charged with prostitution,” the report says. “We were able to obtain drug, prostitution, and theft-related charges for 67 percent of the top 200 pawners and 95 percent of the top 20 pawners.”

Pawnbroker Mike Picow questions the validity of the report, along with the assumption that pawnbrokers regularly deal in stolen goods. Why would someone sell stolen merchandise at a city pawnshop — which is required to report its daily transactions to police and to get identification from sellers — when they can sell it practically hassle-free, he says, at second-hand stores in the suburbs?

“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out,” Picow says.

He says it’s not hard to spot suspicious sellers. An 18-year-old looking to hock a one-carat diamond for $50, for example, would probably raise alarm bells, he says.

Pawn brokers are required by law to hold all pawned items for five days from the time they submit their record of transactions to the police department.

So why buy something from a suspicious seller when there’s a chance the police will confiscate it and you’ll be out the money?

“Who am I to say this kid stole it?”

Picow says, referencing the 18-year-old in the earlier example. “What do I do?

Have this kid interrogated in my store, for doing nothing?”

Dining

At The Food Bar in Pittsford Wegmans: a basket of zucchini fries (left) and the “hometown burger” (right). PHOTOS BY MATT DETURCK

A little bit of this, a little bit of that The Food Bar Inside Wegmans Pittsford, 3195 Monroe Ave. 248-8685, wegmans.com Daily 11 a.m.-9 p.m. [ REVIEW ] BY JAMES LEACH

When Tastings, the high-end, high-concept restaurant attached to Wegmans’ flagship store in Pittsford, closed in 2009, there was a lot of speculation on what might fill the space.

I heard rumors about a gourmet market like Balducci’s in New York, a cooking school and demo kitchen, or even more dining space for the store. The one thing I didn’t hear about was what actually went in: a hybrid restaurant that combines a burger joint like Vic & Irv’s or Don’s Original with a beachside crab shack serving both fresh and fried seafood.

Opened under the direction of Executive Chef Eric Wendorff and Manager Scott Stead in December 2010, The Food Bar can be many things to many people. It also has its share of ghosts that haunt the place pleasantly.

The first of these is the space. Carved out of the original Tastings, the ultra-casual Food Bar offers full service at the counter and walkup service from the tables in the main part of the dining room. The vaulted arches that sectioned the old dining room are still there, as are the row of banquettes (now booths) that divide the space. The cash registers and the ice-cream counter now stand where the

bar once greeted guests. Anyone who was even a semi-regular at Tastings will recognize the old restaurant under the new.

The Food Bar is really a blend of three

restaurants, or at least three restaurant menus. The first is a typical Rochester ground round and hots stand. Chef Wendorff developed his own hot sauce for use on burgers and hots. Taking the familiar meat-and-spice mixture as a point of departure, Wendorff made this staple his own, adding 15 different spices to a velvetysmooth sauce that has more than a hint of curry to it. Served atop fresh-made burgers and hots and bratwurst, the restaurant could serve this alone and be a rousing success.

The Food Bar also incorporates elements from the restaurants that came before it: the Seafood Bar and the Grill, both of which were closed in the months before the Food Bar opened. From the Seafood Bar, Wendorff took steamed clams, a superlative crab cake (served as a sandwich or as an entree), and other pan-seared specialties including salmon, scallops, and shrimp served with an array of sauces. He also brought along the Seafood Bar’s lobster bisque — full of seafood and cream in a more or less 1-to-1 ratio — and New England clam chowder ($4.50 cup, $8 bowl). The Food Bar also appropriated the Seafood Bar’s fresh green beans, which are blanched, shocked, and sauteed to order ($3). Finished with garlic salt and butter, they are superb and it’s nice to see that they made the transition.

The Grill menu provided a half-pound pub burger topped with cheddar and Thousand Island dressing, served atop a massive roll ($7.50). As with its predecessor (and most Rochester burgers) there’s too much bread here; but because they use Wegmans’ irradiated beef, they can cook it to a juicy medium-rare that turns the bread into a tasty sponge very quickly.

From both restaurants Wendorff brought a

style of service that can only be described as fine-casual dining. Particularly at the counter, the staff vacillates between a chummy informality and the circumspection that only seasoned servers acquire over time. At times it feels like the place still wants to be a fine-dining restaurant, and the disconnect between your delicious burger and the guy three stools down with his pan-seared scallops in citrus soy sauce takes a bit of getting used to. Heck, you can even find one of Tastings’ signature appetizers, cornmeal-crusted zucchini fries with garlic and parmesan aioli, on the menu.

But sometimes change is for the better: at Tastings the same appetizer ran $6 for a cornet of fries. Here a gigantic basket of the hot and crunchy squash shoestrings will only set you back $4.

Everything we tried on three visits here was good, but it’s the stuff that cleaves closest to a Rochesterian’s heart — hots, burgers, and fries — that bid fair to make us regulars. As mentioned earlier, Wendorff’s intention was to open

a restaurant that, in his words, “covered every aspect of the dining experience” to put out “really great chef-prepared food in a timely fashion.” Aimed at the shopper who wants a quick bite to eat before venturing into the store, the core items on the menu come with staggering speed.

In the case of the “hometown burger,” Wendorff’s answer to the local ground round, his 400 degree silpat-lined top cookers can put out a medium-rare burger in 58 seconds, and it seems that they can do a hot or a bratwurst even faster.

The burgers, in particular, are a thing of beauty. Dripping juice, covered in cheese and hot sauce along with relish, mustard, and ketchup, they are enough to make even the staunchest of vegetarians sit up and reconsider his or her position on eating meat (“hometown burger,” $4). The hots and brats — red and white hots outside the world of the Food Bar — make an equally strong case for life as a carnivore ($4). Made for The Food Bar according to a recipe developed by Wendorff in association with Hartmann’s in Canandaigua, and delivered almost quicker than you can get the words of your order out, they’ll make you remember why you once preferred hot dogs to just about any other food.

You must, however, save room for some fries. Crispy, salty, and golden brown every time, they cry out for aioli or remoulade rather than work-a-day ketchup ($3). And the good news is that your server will be happy to get either or both for you. rochestercitynewspaper.com City 11

The Wiyos

Thursday, May 19 Abilene, 153 Liberty Pole Way 8 p.m. | $8 | 232-3230 [ SWING/FOLK ] Prying its name from the cold, dead hands

of the notorious prowling street gang of old New York, The Wiyos provide a sweet sound for sore ears. The group blends a charismatic live show that harkens to early vaudeville with a human beat box, upright bass, snappy tremolo, whistles, slaps, and tickles. Artfully marrying folk and swing for whipsmart storytelling, these New Yorkers echo the soothing sounds that effortlessly recall sleepy days gone by. It’s genre bending and refreshingly unique; feel-good music rooted in vintage perspective while staying fresh. — BY EMILY FAITH

Vox Lumine Thursday, May 19 Third Presbyterian Church, 4 Meigs St. 7:30 p.m. | $10 | 567-2346, voxlumine.org [ CLASSICAL ] No sooner had I written that Voices was

the only professional chorus in Rochester, than a second group starts to emerge called Vox Lumine (Voices of Light).

Vox Lumine makes its debut performance this week in a concert titled “A New Dawning,” and it appears it will be offering a 2011-2012 season of concerts from Syracuse to Rochester to Buffalo to Toronto. On the program are works

by Bernstein, Brahms, Copeland, Mendelssohn, and others.

The group promises their audiences “transformative musical experiences.” On its website, the group says it hopes to work with recent graduates who are working their way toward becoming fully professional vocalists. It will also perform in Buffalo this week. — BY PALOMA A. CAPANNA

rock, screaming tantrum, except for its powerful twinvocalist attack. Another thing that sets this Rochester band (formed a mere year ago) apart from the others in this near-capacity genre is its drummer, Grant Gagie.

This cat positively thunders, turning on a dime to drive the band’s tempo changes and speed. It’s agile yet intense, like Godzilla doing ballet. Daggers, Storm The Bay, Release Collapse, and Columns will be there, too.

For the second year in a row, Rochester’s East End was bustling with buskers and bodies Thursday, May 12, for City Newspaper’s 2nd Annual Best Busker Contest. The event illustrated what this

town could be — or rather, what this town is becoming. But it won’t happen without the music. More than 30 buskers set the tone, from the unconventional to the sublime.

Some took the expected “Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley” approach, some the classic makeshift, hobo-on-the move tack. There were performers playing saws, juggling, warbling a cappella, strumming, crooning, picking, and grinning. My favorites this year were the outburst-prone Roger Kuhn, who plays the down-home blues, and first-place winner Katie Ernst, who poured some sugar —and a little Ella Fitzgerald — on the Jackson 5 with her gorgeous voice and big bad bass. Thirdplace finisher Geoff Saunders swung it old-school so much that you could practically see him fade into sepia. Jimmy LaPietra (remember Empty Grave?) offered some brooding dichotomy to the evening sun with his dark pop. Rockin’

Joan Osborne Sunday, May 22 Lilac Festival, Highland Park 7 p.m. | Free | lilacfestival.com [ BLUES/POP ] Joan Osborne has a distinct voice that

has served her well in her music career. Equally suited for both blues and pop, she has tackled and conquered both genres, putting her creative stamp on each in the process.

Not content to creatively sit in one area, Osborne continues to branch out into other styles of music, releasing a covers album (“How Sweet It Is”), as well as lighter fare (“Pretty Little Stranger” and “Little Wild One”). Though she’s likely remembered for the song “One of Us,” Joan Osborne’s voice and raw talent show that, in a live setting, she certainly has more to offer the music world and her fans. — BY TODD REZSNYAK

Red honked and stomped. Washboard

Dave rat-a-tat-tatted the boogie armed with an entire kitchen’s worth of pots, pans, and spoons. And let me pull on your coat about Digger; this cat was mad, intense, and rocking. No sooner did I tell my wife that I thought he sounded like the late, insane lo-fi West Virginia hillbilly Hasil Adkins than Digger broke into Adkins’ “She Said.”

It was deep-dish reggae in the rain Friday night at the Lilac Festival, with Jamaica’s Third World performing as the percolating crowd of about 7000 (according to promoters) got doused in the downpour meant for the flowers. I arrived to the scent of patchouli and fried dough as the band was aptly adapting its 1977 hit “96 Degrees in the Shade” to “96 degrees in the Rain.” At one point founding member and guitarist Cat Coore broke out the electric cello to beautifully redress Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song.” And tunes like “Try Jah Love” (which the band co-wrote with Stevie Wonder) and “Now That We Found Love” made it a first-rate groovy affair despite the soggy ground.

Tivoli Skye is only 16 years old, but already has two albums to her credit. A new EP drops this month. PHOTO BY FRANK DE BLASE

Adventures of a teenage life Tivoli Skye w/Mark Bader (Boxman) and Willy O’Riley Saturday, May 28 Lovin’ Cup, 300 Park Point 6 p.m. | Free | 698-7593 Reverbnation.com/tivoliaylishskyemustaca [ PROFILE ] By Frank De Blase

There’s something about singer-songwriter Tivoli Skye (nee Mustaca) that grabs you right away. She sings pretty in a warm contralto — but it isn’t her voice. She strings together thoughtful, unconventional, and imaginative chord progressions — but it isn’t her guitar playing. Her songs are plaintive and sweet and engaging — but it isn’t her songwriting.

It’s Skye’s guts and her willingness to bare her soul that really make you take notice. If anyone remembers their teen years, it’s an age of precarious wonder, pressure, and curiosity.

You don’t necessarily equate being a teenager with fearlessness.

Skye’s parents had her at the piano by the age of 3. She wrote her first song at 9 before picking up the guitar at 11. “I learned four chords,” says Skye. Two weeks later, she wrote a song with those four chords. “I was very proud of myself,” she says.

14 City MAY 18-24, 2011

At the same time she entered a talent contest at school. Having spent a lot more hours tickling the ivories, her parents thought that the piano might be a wiser choice.

“My parents were like, ‘You should play the piano,’” she says. “I had a ton more history, but I didn’t want to do that. I was like, ‘I’m fed up with the piano. I’m going to play the guitar.’ They thought it was going to be a total disaster. I never showed them the song until I was up on stage.” She got a huge reaction.

“Everyone was really surprised,” she says.

Now 16 years old, Skye has two albums to her credit: “Faded,” which she released at 13, and “Just Me,” which dropped when she was 15. Her third release, an EP called “Adventures of a Teenage Life,” comes out this month. It’s an excellent collection of songs documenting Skye’s personal and artistic growth as she shifts to a more fleshed-out and polished sound.

The majority of Skye’s exposure has been

as a solo acoustic performer. Even at her abbreviated age, Skye is a veteran of the open-mic scene, where the songs get worked up and worked out without the studio gloss to save them. The music has to — and does — stand on its own. Skye stepped into Saxon Studios in Rochester earlier this year and emerged with a gem of

a pop-rock collection. Her creamy voice is still there, the songs are still there, but now it all sparkles with a keen pop veneer. With this enriched sound, Skye is now kicking around the idea of having more musicians in on the act permanently.

“I kind of want to be in a band,” she says. “I’m not a very solo, spotlight kind of person. Sometimes I feel I can’t add things that I really want to be there when I do my music all by myself.”

“Adventures of a Teenage Life” is miles away from Skye’s first album, and the girl who wrote it. “When you’re in 6th grade you don’t really fall in love with somebody,” says Skye. “Or have too many problems with your friends. That comes later. The difference between those songs then and the songs now is the experience behind them.”

The burden of musically and lyrically interpreting life around her doesn’t seem to get her down. “I’m still a teenager,” says Skye. “I want to hang out with my friends, I want to go to the mall, go to the beach — all that stuff.”

And perhaps her songwriter’s intuition and insight helps in the rough spots, making the adventures of a teenage life easier. Not academically, according to Skye.

“It doesn’t make it easier for me to do chemistry,” she says.

METAL | Sepultura

It’s not often that a group that’s sold nearly 20 million albums worldwide gets to play an intimate club date. Brazil’s Sepultura, one of the pioneers of international thrash and death metal, is touring in support of its soon-to-be-released 12th studio album “Kairos.” Despite some experiments with world music, Sepultura’s formula remains close to its roots, particularly with American-born lead singer Derrick Green. The group has been cited by MTV as being “perhaps the most important heavy-metal band of the 90’s” and has cut a path for global metal. Touring with Sepultura will be groups from Austria, Poland, Norway, and Canada. Belphegor, Hate, Keep of Kalessin, Neuraxis and Bonded By Blood also perform.

Sepultura performs Saturday, May 21, 7:30 p.m. at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut St. $25. Ticketweb.com.

ROCKABILLY | The Royal Crowns

As a young, broncin’ buck with a pink carnation and a pickup truck, my first dose of live rockabilly came from Toronto’s Royal Crowns. The band went way beyond the Elvis vintage and the Stray Cats’ hot-rodded pop-bop and dug into the music’s Memphis roots with detours into jazz and swing. Guitarist Danny Bartley (ex-Razorbacks, Shotgun Shack) shifts from breakneck twang to sultry jazz phrasing often within the same song, and drummer Teddy Fury plugs the swing into the whole thing. Good ol’ greasy American fun, played by Canadians. It’s going to get hot in there when the band shares the bill with psychobilly disciples Devil Spring, instrumental missing link The Tombstone Hands, and others.

INDIE | Patrons of Sweet

Tirelessly making music for over a decade, singer-songwriter Vic Lazar is a staple of the Buffalo music scene. His current outfit Patrons of Sweet is raw and real, harnessing the power of post-rock, grunge, and pure indie. Relentless hooks and spine-tingling licks are par for the course with this power trio, which uses every ounce of its talent base to craft tunes that rock to the nines. Lucky for Rochester, Lazar is only a short drive away, and willing to rock you straight into the work week with his smart, witty, blue-collar lyrical delivery. You might remember his previous trio, Knife Crazy, as guitar mathematics on steroids. That energy has migrated perfectly into this group as well. Ithaca’s Why The Wires and Rochester’s Friend Museum and Inugami share the bill.

Patrons of Sweet perform Sunday, May 22, 7:30 p.m. at Bug Jar, 219 Monroe Ave. $6-$8. 454-2966, bugjar.com.

PREVIEW | BY CASEY CARLSEN

PHOTOS | BY MATT DETURCK

+ There is a new vampire in town, and she’s wearing pointe shoes. Stately, seductive,

and self-assured, she is the blood countess, the title character in the original, fulllength ballet by Jamey Leverett, artistic director of Rochester City Ballet.

Leverett loosely based the premise of her storyline on the life of late 16th century Hungarian countess Elizabeth Bathory, infamous for her alleged penchant for bathing in the blood of virgins (as in, hundreds of virgins) as a means to retain her celebrated beauty.

In a recent interview, Leverett told City Newspaper that she had looked for inspiration in the form of a female vampire — a woman “maker,” so to speak. “Several years ago, people kept requesting that I stage Dracula,” she says. “But it had been done so much, it didn’t feel like I could put a new spin on it. Then I discovered Elizabeth Bathory.”

Bathory, nicknamed “blood countess” and “blood queen,” was a noblewoman of great power. Besides her looks, she is said to have possessed keen intelligence, cunning, and was a talented negotiator. Highly educated and with relatives in high places, she was reportedly unafraid to wield her sexuality as a means to her goals.

Leverett’s twist on history was to insert Dracula into Bathory’s world — that is, Dracula before he was a vampire. Leverett delivers high drama in her realization of this premise. It’s a ballet she thinks will draw a younger audience, but not too young; promotional material advises against attendance by those 12 and under.

Tara Lally plays the title character, while Brandon Alexander portrays Dracula, in Rochester City Ballet’s “The Blood Countess.”

(Note: these photos were taken at rehearsal, and do not feature the production’s costumes.)

22 City MAY 18-24, 2011

+ Leverett is an internationally recognized choreographer. In 2001, 2003, and 2005 her work was chosen for “Ballet Builders, New Choreographers on Point,” a New York City showcase. Her work has also been

In rehearsal at the company’s University Avenue studio last week, even without the indulgent costumes and props that should wow audiences at this weekend’s performances, Leverett’s new work revealed itself to be intricately choreographed, highly dramatic, and, above all else, pleasingly erotic.

“The Blood Countess”

By Rochester City Ballet Friday, May 20-Sunday, May 22 Nazareth College Arts center, 4245 East Ave. Fri-Sat 7:30 p.m., Sun 2 p.m. | $50-$65 389-2170, boxoffice.naz.edu

performed at the Jackson International Ballet Competition and the 50th anniversary of Gian Carlo Menotti’s Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy. “The Blood Countess” is a new challenge for her, as it tells a narrative — a departure for both her and the company, which typically performs less story-based work.

The role of the blood countess is an exceptionally juicy one. Even as Leverett conceived of the idea for her new ballet, she says she envisioned Tara Lally, a lead dancer with the company since 2005, as the best embodiment of the title character.

In last week’s rehearsal, Lally performed spot on, nailing the hauteur and power of the sadistic seductress with finely tuned facial expressions and exquisitely executed movements. You could feel her stealthy entrances before you saw her, whipping her head toward her prey, flinging scathing looks across the stage. Her hands

readily conveyed the countess’ seductive powers as she slowly traces a finger across Dracula’s lips or slides her hand up along her own thigh.

The ballet’s plot is almost Shakespearean in ambition, but well realized and easy to follow. Leverett says that the unfolding of the elaborate plot brought exciting new challenges to her work as a choreographer.

“The movement and dancing absolutely had to be motivated by the storyline,” she says.

In “The Blood Countess,” she matches her choreography to excerpts from Dmitri Shostakovich’s String Quartet. A live recording by the Emerson String Quartet will provide the accompaniment to the performances. + The work possesses a strong ballet base, but with a sharp contemporary edge. Leverett provides scenes ranging from those broad in scope and gesture to others of narrowed intensity, starkly intimate. In the early peasant scene, the full cast cavorts in an array of social dances; costumes by Yuanting Zhao set the time period as well as designate varying degrees of social status. Adam Kittelberger adds threat, tension, and a rough humor to the scene as the creepy Fitzcko, servant to the countess and accomplice in the selection and procurement of the virgins for his mistress’ personal usage. He pushes and pulls, grabs

Adults $10, Students $5, Maximum per Family $25 This concert is funded in part by a grant from the Arts & Cultural Council for Greater Rochester, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York State Legislature.

The “Blood Countess” cast in rehearsal: (1) Brandon Alexander, Jessica Tretter, and Tara Lally; (2) Adam Kittelberger and Emma Hodsen; (3) Courtney Catalana, Erik Johnson, Jessindae Rogers, and Ben Rabe; (4) Katelyn Lally

and gropes the frightened young women in a precursor of the violence to come. Jessica Tretter is well cast as the chosen virgin. Even the blush of her pale skin seems to signify her innocence and inexperience.

We first meet Dracula, played by Brandon Alexander, as he dances with his fiancé amongst the other nobles gathered in the great room of the palace. (Hayley Meier, the fiancé, was unable to attend the rehearsal that City attended, but has proven herself in the past as one of the company’s best dancers.)

In this scene, focus jackknifes to the blood countess as she enters the dancing and rapidly sets her sights on Dracula.

Her attraction and intent read plainly, but Dracula, played by Alexander, sapped some of the intensity during this rehearsal.

Technically, his movements were well executed, but so lacking in the brazen sexuality of his counterpart that it belied the credibility of her attraction to him, an essential plot point. Maybe he will be able to find himself more in character when onstage in full costume. He was much more emotionally convincing in a later scene in which his character is wracked with guilt, writhing in an agony of conscience, bare

chested on the ground as a video runs behind him, reconstructing the cause of his torment for the audience.

The choreographer also makes clever use of a split stage, employing lighting to transfer our attention from the action on one side to the other. For example, we are shown the three witches, cohorts of the blood countess, concocting their vaporous lust potion in a huge cauldron on one half of the stage, while on the other, Dracula sits drinking with the nobles. The witches, incidentally, are another of the ballet’s gems.

Led by Katelyn Lally (sister to Tara Lally), they glam up the performance with their malicious, vivacious synchronicity.

There are many other scenes worthy of comment — the lust scene, the bath scene, the ghost scene, the bedroom scene — but, not wanting to reveal too much, suffice to say that the dramatic tension builds throughout the piece. Should the piece meet with success Leverett would like to take it on the road.

We’ve got the kind of fans here who leave work early each day of June’s Rochester International Jazz Festival — if they haven’t scheduled vacation time for the duration of it — in order to get in line early and catch as many shows as possible. The festival’s club passes sold out in record time this year. Rochester also has Jazz90.1 FM, one of the last remaining 24-hour jazz stations in the country. But like so many public services, its annual operating budget is reliant upon membership and fundraising programs. On Thursday, May 19, Greece Community Broadcasting Inc. will present its Sixth Annual Art Loves Jazz fundraiser to benefit Jazz90.1 FM, in efforts to keep the hot tunes flowing on Rochester airwaves.

Art and jazz go hand in hand — it’s the perfect genre for a creative soundtrack, and many jazz musicians were painters as well. The gala will take place 6:30-9:30 p.m. at Artisan Works (565 Blossom Road), and will feature a live art auction, silent auction, live jazz, food, and permission to wander the 60,000-square-foot art space. Tickets to Art Loves Jazz 2011 are $30, and available by calling 966-2660 or online at jazz901.org. — BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

ART/LECTURE | Wish You Were Here: Simon Norfolk

“Et in Arcadia ego” is the appropriate motto below Simon Norfolk’s name on his website, which shares his portfolio of photography representing decades of time spent in war-torn lands. The Latin phrase loosely means “even in Arcadia I exist,” and serves to confront the viewer with the truth that Death also dwells in places of seeming paradise. Perhaps the photographer means to remind us that even in places that enjoy peace, our lives are inextricably tied to the events taking place around the world.

Norfolk’s award-winning images of Afghanistan reveal scarred and abandoned landscapes and the detritus of war in a land that won’t likely see relief anytime soon. It’s difficult to envision the skeletal remains of palaces and tea houses as the spaces listed in the captions, and the images include the barest indications of life. On Thursday, May 19, at 6 p.m., Norfolk will talk about his images of the Afghanistan war, which are both a document of the current conflict and a response to photographs by John Burke, taken during the Anglo-Afghan war of 1878-1880.

The lecture will take place at the George Eastman House (900 East Ave.), as part of the 11th Annual “Wish You Were Here” travel-photography lecture series. The remaining lectures in this series include Oscar Palacio on June 9 and Steve McCurry on June 12. The lecture is included in museum admission, which is free for members, $12 for adults, $10 for senior citizens, and $5 for students. A book signing will be held following each of the lectures.

FESTIVAL | Tree Peony Festival of Flowers LENTO

Watch Batteries installed $1.99

This is the second year in a row that springtime has brought the Tree Peony Festival of Flowers to my attention, and this year I’ve resolved to make the trip to Linwood Gardens, located southwest of Rochester in Pavilion. The gorgeous and rambling historic grounds include a 1900’s Arts & Crafts-style summer house, a labyrinth, pools and fountains, creative arts workshops and retreats, and a Japanese and American treepeony collection. This is just the place for a day-trip escape into nature and peaceful timelessness.

The festival spans three weekends each year, this year falling on Saturday-Sunday, May 21-22; Saturday-Monday, May 28-30; and Saturday-Sunday, June 4-5, and is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. each day. Because the weather has been cool this year, the flowers may not be at their peak until the later weekends of the festival. Before your visit, check the website for peak blooming times.

Suggested donation is $8, guided tours are $10, and beverages, soups, light lunch, snacks, and desserts will be available for purchase. For more information call 584-3913 or visit linwoodgardens.org. If you miss the festival, you can still enjoy the grounds; visit the site to browse summer workshop offerings with local artists, writers, and naturalists.

RECREATION | Seersucker Social Ride/Rochester Bike Week

Last fall, local artist Carla Bartow and friends organized the First Annual Rochester Tweed Ride (pictured). The premise was simple: don your dapper duds and pedal down to the High Falls walking bridge. From there, the group toured around for an hour and ended up at Genesee Valley Park for games, music, and prizes. The pictures were awesome.

Right in time for Rochester Bike Week (May 20-27), the group is exchanging its heavier duds for spring threads, and has organized a sequel, the Seersucker Social Ride. Everyone is invited to slip on their finest 1920’s/1930’s outfit, and meet up this time at the pier at Charlotte Beach on Sunday, May 22, at 3 p.m. A leisurely bike ride through the city will commence, and return to the starting point. The hour-long ride will conclude with tea, cookies, games, and festivities. Grand prizes will be awarded for the following categories: most dapper dandy (male costume), most quizzical quantrielle (female costume), most marvelous moustache, most ravishing ride, and others.

Art person becomes an image of teeth, brains, feet, or hands, except for two blank, dimly dark film bodies. The work speaks of the consuming nature of ailment, how the entire focus of our physical bodies becomes the source of pain. Walking among the twodimensional people, I was reminded of the unease with which we treat those who are ill.

The show’s second-place award went to Michelle Brown and Leslie Golomb, who with Louise Silk created a quiltedand printed-upon wall hanging “Betsy in the Forest.” The blocky, graphic black images are inky atop bright, patterned fabric in a disorienting way, with a child’s face and wings and trees repeating in a kaleidoscopic tumble, replicating the bewildering, exhilarating feeling of discovering the deep woods as a child.

UK artist Alison Mercer’s sweet

“Super Suckler” by Stephanie Metz, part of “Fiberart International” at the Memorial Art Gallery. PHOTO COURTESY MEMORIAL ART GALLERY

Spinning yarns and story threads “Fiberart International” Through July 3 Lockhart Gallery, Memorial Art Gallery, 500 University Ave. Wed-Sun 11 a.m.-5 p.m.; Thu until 9 p.m. | $5-$10 | 276-8900, mag.rochester.edu [ REVIEW ] BY REBECCA RAFFERTY

The overwhelmingly labor-intensive nature of fiber art allows for a lot of reflection time, so it’s unsurprising that some of the most philosophic and engaging work I’ve seen this year is included in “Fiberart International,” currently on display at the Memorial Art Gallery. Objects of beauty and of arcane meaning are displayed next to works that reflect socio-political considerations. The 81 artists represented have stories to tell: American and global narratives are expressed in warp and weft; anecdotes of connection and isolation are set in embroidery; and illustrated bits of crucial minutiae permeate the exhibit.

Winner of the Outstanding Use of Traditional Materials Award is Stephanie Metz’s “Muscle Heifer,” a needle-felted work of an utterly ripped cow’s headless body that silently confronts us with moral questions of raising monstrous animals designed to meet 28 City may 18-24, 2011

our demand for meat. Unaccountably bulky cows are being created; even free-range bovines allowed to roam and exercise do not grow gargantuan musculature like they do with the introduction of insidious growth hormones.

The seeming next step toward creating the perfect beast is indeed headlessness: there is discussion about designing just muscle in labs for human consumption. Examine the work closely and note the subtle detail of a rear hoof raised in silent and impotent trepidation.

In the exhibit’s entrance room, four mannequins stand in a square adorned with wearable artwork, including “American Made,”

by Rebecca A. Siemering, a man’s suit embellished with scratch-off lottery tickets cut in the shape of stars and adhered by dental floss. The patterns and colors form a loose U.S. flag over the body, referring to a system of gambling and waste.

Claire Taylor’s “New Natural Occurrence”

combines a crushed plastic coffee lid with varied hues of green cotton thread in French knot embroidery around the top and spilling from the drinking spout. The black plastic pool is made of oil and reminiscent of oil, but here, the bits of life slowly reclaim the junk.

One of my favorite works is Emily Barletta’s “Scabs,” 12 plastic bags mounted on the wall with nails. Inside each is a range of

flat felt discs, embroidered to created rainbows and textures and patterns, mostly red in hue but with purples, pinks, and greens as well.

With grotesque delight, the artist brings into focus the literal embroidery that our own bodies create with our blood when we heal.

Canadian artist Andrea Graham’s three vertically mounted, forearm-length branches, entitled “Liberato Captivus,” read like sacred objects from forgotten cultures. The smooth wood is stripped of bark but dressed in wetfelted, snug wool sweaters, mostly gray but with red bits of glass set in the fabric’s gaps, like reliquaries of wee eyes or eggs or berries.

Many works so vaguely used fibers or

elements from the traditional crafts that their inclusion in the show could be argued against, but many were so poignant that I didn’t care about strict definitions. Brigitte Amarger, the French artist who earned the Sally Yunis Memorial Award for Innovative Use of Materials, contributed the eerie “Corps Estrangers (Strange Bodies/Humanoids),” a group of 15 life-sized bodies, created with x-ray images and MRI scans stitched together and suspended by a thread from the tops of their heads to the ceiling.

Each body is made entirely of the dark images of only one body part, so that an entire

meditation on the mother archetype, “Broody Girls,” is three wall-mounted rows of six dolls each, made of handdyed calico, wire, bread, and glass. Each figure has a bulbous, skirt-like lower half, embroidered with images of multiple fetuses in wombs, or with floral print, or with slits that open to mirrored metal.

At the top of each skirt buds a woman’s torso, some gathering bread-ball-headed babies in their arms.

Penny Mateer’s “Damn Good Whacking #5 Protest Series” is a quilt of cotton fabric and digital printing that reflects people’s ongoing frustration with our ongoing system of survival. The title is a lyric taken from The Beatles’ “Piggies,” which is a condemnation of the subjects found in this work: each square of the red, white, and blue quilt holds a swine in a button-up shirt and tie and hand cuffs.

The border is lined with images of cars, money, and pills, further clarifying specific criticisms of this culture.

Nearby and continuing the theme is a work by Stephanie Metz entitled “Super Suckler.” A cream-colored, needle-felted wool sow lies on her side, exposing four rows of six teats each, swollen full, but as in Metz’s “Muscle Heifer,” the beast is entirely unnatural and therefore a suspect illusion of abundance.

Because I need as much of a break from my beloved fist-shaking as anyone, I’ll end with levity. Hitoshi Ujie’s “Funny Face” projects a humorous range of mundane household and office items arranged to form expressive faces, digitally ink-jetted onto two tall white silk satin segments. They would make the most bad-mood-defying curtains ever, and I kind of want them.

FESTIVAL | Lilac Festival 2011

OK, so the first weekend of the 2011 Lilac Festival was a bit of a bust, with the constant rain and occasional downpours even cancelling the event for a day or two. But that’s why it’s so awesome that the first big entry in Rochester’s summer-festival season goes on for 10 days — maybe the weather gods will take pity this weekend and give us sunny, warm days to enjoy the flowers, the fried dough, and the vendors and events.

The festival takes place in gorgeous Highland Park, and is open daily 10:30 a.m.-8:30 p.m. Admission is free. A free shuttle will run on Saturdays and Sundays only from Monroe Community College (1000 E. Henrietta Rd.) to Highland Park (Highland Ave. between Goodman and South).

Below you’ll find a schedule of events for Wednesday, May 18, through Sunday, May 22, but check the festival’s site at lilacfestival.com for updates and more information.

THEATER | “New York”

There’s not a ton of good news coming out the Rochester city schools right now, but one bright spot is the School of Arts being chosen to participate in the American High School Theatre Festival, part of the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fifteen SOTA students will travel to Scotland this August, and they have selected their production for the festival: “New York,” by Pulitzer Prize nominee David Rimmer. This week you can support the international trip by attending a staged reading of the work, as well as sit in for a discussion of the play with the author himself.

“New York” is a reaction to the events of September 11, 2001, as 15 individuals recount their thoughts and experiences to a psychiatrist. The play was initially produced to raise funds for volunteer therapists who worked with New Yorkers affected by the 9/11 tragedy. Following the reading Rimmer will join the cast to offer insights on his creative process.

The reading will take place Monday, May 23, 7 p.m. at the Nextstage at Geva Theatre (75 Woodbury Boulevard). Tickets cost $15-$20, with an additional $10 for a pre-show reception.

For tickets call the Geva box office at 232-4382 or order online at gevatheatre.org. For more information on the SOTA Fringe Festival trip call 242-7682 x.1551 or visit sotarochester.org.

Playwright Tennessee Williams is getting a lot of (well deserved) love in Rochester these days. Blackfriars Theatre took on the “The Glass Menagerie” in early spring. In late March “In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel” and “Small Craft Warnings” were presented as part of the Williams 100th birthday bash at MuCCC. This week, one of Williams’ later works, “Something Cloudy Something Clear,” will be interpreted by local performance and art company Method Machine and hosted by Garth Fagan Dance Studio Theater (50 Chestnut St., fourth floor).

The multiplication of genres [ REVIEW ] by George Grella

“Priest” (PG-13), directed by Scott Charles Stewart Now playing

Whatever else it accomplishes, the new movie “Priest” suggests that a number of motion-picture concepts and constructs have now achieved immortality. Yet another film derived from yet another graphic novel, it not only includes the usual devices associated with that particular literary form, but amalgamates material from a variety of other sources, so that at times it constitutes something like a compendium movie, a cinematic salad, or perhaps a hash.

Paul Bettany in “Priest.” PHOTO COURTESY SCREEN GEMS

“Priest” begins with a helpful voiceover exposition, placing its action in some world decidedly different from our own, where an ancient war between vampires and humans results in a bizarre circumstance, with humans living in dark industrial cities that resemble nightmarish factories and vampires banished to hives in the middle of an arid wasteland. The humans defeated the vampires by employing an army of warrior priests, skilled, dedicated fighters who sport a cruciform tattoo on their foreheads and possess some supernatural powers.

The humans live under the iron rule of a theocracy, known only as The Church, which, declaring the Vampire War over, disbands the priesthood.

A horde of vampires breaks out of their prison and attacks a farmer in the desert, killing his wife and abducting his daughter Lucy (Lily Collins), an action that initiates the movie’s basic plot. The farmer’s brother (Paul Bettany), the most formidable priest of them all, disobeys

his superior (Christopher Plummer) and takes off for the Wasteland, accompanied by the daughter’s boyfriend, a sheriff (Cam Gigandet). At that point “Priest” starts blurring genres, moving from its combination of post-apocalyptic science-fiction and horror to something very like a Western with a certain resemblance to “The Searchers.”

Although the priest and the sheriff ride souped-up motorcycles that zoom at 200 miles an hour, they might as well be on horseback as they wander the desert looking for Lucy, captured by a band of savages who have escaped their reservation. In the sheriff’s little town, a miniature version of the bleak mechanical cities, they even encounter one of the Western’s staple characters, a snake-oil salesman, peddling a tonic that cures every ailment and of course protects against the vampires. The chief vampire, who combines human and vampire characteristics — like one of those renegades who betray their own kind in so many flicks — speaks in an Eastwood whisper, wears a black cowboy hat, and appears to have stepped right out of a Sergio Leone film.

The monsters themselves should surprise, perhaps even shock, any serious vampirologist or Dracularian (I immodestly include myself among those serious scholars of the distinguished form). The picture features no European aristocrat in formal wear, speaking in a heavy Romanian accent; instead, the vampires of “Priest” are hideous creatures, slimy quadrupeds whose blunt,

On the market [ REVIEW ] BY DAYNA PAPALEO

“POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” (PG-13), directed by Morgan Spurlock Opens Friday

“Everything Must Go” (R), written and directed by Dan Rush Now playing

eyeless faces consist only of a huge mouth bristling with far too many teeth. As for the priests, despite their ecclesiastical context, they never brandish crucifixes or splash their enemies with holy water, but use their crosses as some kind of magic weapon that shoots out ninja-style projectiles.

The film itself reveals its origins in the graphic novel from the start, with a series of still cartoons accompanying the narration and a sequence that looks like a vampire version of that famous cartoon, the Bayeux Tapestry. When it doesn’t employ the eye-level camera placements of the spaghetti Western, it uses the odd closeups and oblique angles of the comic book. While its urban locations look like a frightening combination of “Metropolis” and “Blade Runner,” the priest and the sheriff ride through a barren landscape that looks like John Ford’s Monument Valley as reinterpreted by Salvador Dali.

Paul Bettany pops his eyes quite a lot, again in keeping with the acting style of those static panels in a comic, with close-ups on his constantly stricken face while some odd action takes place in the background. He speaks his comic-book dialogue with a tight-lipped breathlessness, almost whispering many of his lines, perhaps again reflecting the influence of the spaghetti Western and the tall shadow of Clint Eastwood. Amid all the fusion and confusion of genres, the melodrama, the stunts and explosions, and quantities of gore, one question remains: what is a fine actor like Christopher Plummer doing inside this comic book?

So you’re watching a movie, when someone on screen cracks open an icy-cold Dr. Pepper. Do you suddenly identify more closely with this fictional character, because you drink Dr. Pepper, too? Does this offhand action maybe make you crave the fizzy kick of 23 secret flavors? Or are you whipped into a heightened state of alertness of the blatant advertising going on smackdab in the middle of alleged art? Each reaction would be reasonable, and while the first two may be the desired effects of what’s known as product placement, it’s the third that will likely occur from here on out after seeing “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” the latest documentary from Morgan Spurlock.

Morgan Spurlock in “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” PHOTO COURTESY SONY PICTURES CLASSICS

You know Spurlock; he famously ruined his health as part of the Oscarnominated “Super Size Me,” which broke the shocking news that McDonald’s food is bad for you. And on its surface, “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” seems like a similarly hard-hitting exposé, detailing how — are you sitting down? — corporations really want you to buy their stuff.

But Spurlock takes an intriguing and immersive meta approach; he’s made a movie about getting sponsorship money to make a movie about getting sponsorship money. The cameras tag along to the often surreal pitch meetings, as the amiable Spurlock tries to convince room after lilywhite room of executives how funding his film will benefit their company. Some are dubious (remember, he did the Golden Arches no favors), while others, as you can even tell from the film’s title, love the utter transparency of the idea.

We get to see the inner cogs of the promotional machine, as Spurlock negotiates fast-food tie-ins, storyboards commercials (POM Wonderful politely shoots down Spurlock’s concept to showcase POM’s... um... enhancement benefits), and generally tries to fulfill the legal obligations attendant to this quid pro quo, including one contract’s oddly specific demand that the film not disparage Germany. But Spurlock also wrestles with the obvious ethical quandaries that arise when tailoring one’s self-expression in exchange for financial consideration. He speaks to filmmakers like J.J. Abrams and Peter Berg, weighing in with their thoughts on what some might call selling out, as well as some behind-thescenes power-players who are clearly tickled by the challenge to market a niche film that Spurlock hopes will be a “doc-buster.”

It’s the ever-chatty Quentin Tarantino who actually sums up product placement from the audience point of view: “Truthfully, I don’t ever notice it unless it’s super-obvious. And then when it’s super-obvious, it becomes ridiculously

obvious.” Also super-obvious, though, is when advertising is completely absent, as shown in a side trip to São Paulo, Brazil, whose good intentions in outlawing open-air ads have resulted in a city that looks surprisingly unfinished. “The Greatest Movie Ever Sold” isn’t so much a Michael Moore-type call-to-arms as it is a magnifying glass held to a practice we may not even pay conscious attention to anymore. But know that there are highly paid people devoted to the science of ensuring that your subconscious gets the message. And how are you supposed to defend against that?

They say that comedy is more difficult

than drama, yet everyone acts so stunned when clowns like Adam Sandler and Jim Carrey display serious chops. Add Will Ferrell to that list; the star of “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights” puts his willingness to go for broke to dramatic use in “Everything Must Go,” playing a recently fired alcoholic who sets up temporary housekeeping on his lawn after his wife changes the locks. Along with his worldly goods, Nick’s Pabst-fueled self-pity is on full display for those in the neighborhood, which include the invaluable Rebecca Hall (“The Town”) and Biggie Smalls’ son, the sweetly brave Christopher Jordan Wallace.

Loosely based on a short story by Raymond Carver, “Everything Must Go” is the filmmaking debut of Dan Rush, who took a wise chance on Ferrell; everything that makes him an excellent comedian — the awkwardness, the fearlessness — works here, as a man too overwhelmed to put up much of a fight.

In fact, the subtle performances, especially Laura Dern in a gorgeous cameo, are what make this film worth watching.

So ignore, if you can, the heavy-handed symbolism that comes with a man parting with the relics of his past; focus instead on the universal truths of a human dealing with loss as best he can.

Literary critic Pierre Lachenay has a devoted wife and a lovely daughter, but something compels him to take on an affair with the much younger Nicole (Françoise Dorleac, the ethereally gorgeous sister of Catherine Deneuve).

Lachenay's impulsiveness soon catches up to him. A Hitchcockian dissection of the consequences of betrayal. (LA PEAU DOUCE, François Truffaut, France 1964, 119 min.)

Cruel Intentions updates Dangerous Liasons to a contemporary New York prep school where two step-siblings (Ryan Phillippe, Sarah Michelle Gellar) contrive bedroom conquests for sport. The result is a wicked marvel of stunt casting (a seething post-Buffy Gellar; Selma Blair as a vacuous good girl) and late-’90s trip-hop malaise. (Roger Kumble, US 1999, 97 min.)

Live Well on Wellington in the 19th Ward

487 Wellington Avenue Hardwood floors, unpainted woodwork, leaded glass doors, and unblemished historic architectural features abound in this 1928 Dutch Colonial Revival style house. The center entrance opens to an entrance vestibule and center hall. Flanking the hall on both sides are French doors with leaded glass windows that lead to the living room on the left and the dining room on the right. The fireplace and sophisticated wood mantle with slender classical columns pull visitors into the spacious living room. A bay window across the front of the house highlights the room’s hardwood floors with inlaid wood and beautiful crown molding. Just off the living room is a cozy four -season sunroom, filled with beautiful historic windows and a fireplace.

The crown molding and hardwood floors with inlaid design continue across the entrance hall into the dining room, which is also lit by a large bank of windows. Beyond the dining room, at the rear of the house is the functional and spacious kitchen. From the kitchen one can access the partially finished basement, perfectly appointed for entertaining with a bar and half bath.

Before proceeding upstairs from the central entrance hallway, keen observers will note the shamrock shaped cutouts in the staircase railing, echoing the shamrock cutouts on the shutters on the front of the house. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and 1.5 baths. The master bedroom, which runs the full depth of the house from front to back, features unpainted molding and wood trim, a large closet and a half bath with historic

subway tile and hexagonal floor tiles. The two other bedrooms are reasonably sized with good closet space. The unfinished attic above offers plenty of storage space.

HIstoric wood doors and glass knobs, and unblemished double hung wood windows with leaded glass add character to nearly every room in the house.

The exterior of the house speaks for itself, with enormous curb appeal, a brick walk to the front entrance, a spacious and private backyard, and a detached two-car garage. The property is in the desirable Sibley Tract of the 19th Ward neighborhood. The 19th Ward is a diverse “urban by choice” community with an active neighborhood association. The Sibley Tract is an attractive area with well-maintained early 20th century homes and inviting, tree-lined streets. 487 Wellington is located just blocks from Aberdeen Square, Joseph C. Wilson High School, the Arnett Branch of the Monroe County Public Library, and the commercial district on Thurston Road.

This 2,142 square foot, 0.21-acre property is listed at $139,000 through Christopher Thomas with New 2 U Homes, 585-209-0639.
